Lake Misurina

Cortina d’Ampezzo is one of the best towns to use as your base for exploring the Dolomites! Known as a playground for the wealthy, there’s plenty to do in the town that won’t break the bank too. I’ve included several restaurants that won’t break the bank as well as a few worth a splurge. There’s a ton of great hiking and skiing around Cortina, including some without needing a car. This guide is more focused on hiking- I don't include ski runs here. On this guide, you’ll get: - the major sights with notes on what you’re seeing and if they need advanced booking - an interactive map to help navigate you to each spot - 5 of the major hiking areas or views, along with advice on how to get there - 7 restaurants at varying price points, along with a breakfast spot - 2 shops you’ll want to see - 1 3-star hotel
